(三)阅读文章并思考
Compass(指南针)
Have you ever got lost when traveling, especially on cloudy days without the sun or stars? That's how
the inventor got the idea for creating Compass . Long ago, people often lost their way during trips or sailing(航行). They found a special stone called magnetite(磁铁矿) that always pointed south, so they thought a tool made with it could help people find directions easily.
It’s made of natural magnetite and smooth bronze(青铜) at first. Later, it used small magnetic needles and light plastic or metal disks. It looks like a small spoon on a bronze plate (the earliest one) or a round disk with a free-spinning needle in the center—simple but useful.
What’s it used for? It can show you the right directions anytime, help sailors cross the sea safely, and guide travelers through forests or deserts. Today, hikers and campers still use it for outdoor activities, even with modern GPS.
We call it “Compass” . I think it’s an amazing helper that shows ancient people’s great wisdom. It turned a natural phenomenon into a tool that changed long-distance travel and trade.
Although the earliest Compass needed a smooth surface to work well, its reliability and simplicity make it a timeless tool for anyone needing to find their way.
① How did the inventor come up with this invention?
② What materials does the inventor need?

④ What is the invention used for?
